How To Do Sprint Intervals Without A Track
Fun Sprint Ideas To Crush Your Body Fat
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m showing you how to do sprint intervals without a track.
I guess you could call this street racing.
And no, I’m not channeling my inner Fast & The Furious aspirations.
I’m talking about using my own 2 wheels to get in a quick anaerobic workout that torches body fat and builds lean, athletic, and functional muscle.

That’s right, I’m hitting the streets of downtown San Diego to show you how to do sprint intervals while using the sidewalk on the street, stairs, or a hill.
Remember, there was a time when everyone needed this speed to sprint away from saber-tooth tigers.
That’s why our bodies are programmed to excel at brief, but intense, bursts of speed.
Reasons Why You Think You Can’t Sprint
Unfortunately, a lot of people think they can’t sprint.
If this is you, ask yourself why do you think you can’t sprint?
Common reasons include:
#1. I Don’t Have Access To A Track.
Well, you don’t need a track.
All you need are your two feet.
Here’s how to do a sprint workout without a track.
How To Do Sprint Intervals Without A Track
You can also do sprints on:
- the sidewalk of the street
- stairs
- hill
- field of grass
- your favorite cardio machine
Even if the sidewalk on the street is busy with a lot of people, simply take your 2, 3, or 4 point stance, and get it like Jessica and I did here.
It you want to make your sprint workout tougher, try incorporating hill sprints like those seen in this 15 minute hill sprints workout.
This will have you screaming, “damn that’s hard!”.
Or if you have access to an outdoor staircase, try this 20 minute HIIT stairs workout.
Trust me, if you find it hard to sprint up the stairs because you lack the foot coordination, don’t worry.
With a little practice, you’ll quickly begin to feel much more comfortable running up the stairs.
And if you don’t have access to an outdoor staircase, no worries.
Try this 20 minute HIIT home stairs workout for fat loss.
#2. I’m Too Out Of Shape.
Ok, depending on how out of shape you are, let’s build up to it.
Start by checking out this video post on how to start losing weight when you are obese.
I’ll show you how to progress to up to your first sprint workout in 8 weeks or less.
#3. It’s Too Cold Outside.
Even if you don’t have access to good sprinting weather, you can still do this sprint workout at the gym on a treadmill.
#4. I Don’t Have A Gym Membership.
No problem.
Do this sprint workout at home.
Or you could simply do running sprint strides on the spot for your sprint workout.
Done.
No More Excuses.
Any excuse you have, I’m pretty sure I can find a legitimate answer of how you can still use the powerful tool of sprinting, to Live Lean faster.
So get your sprints in.

Living Lean doesn’t have to be difficult.
Even if you live in a city like San Diego, you can still get your sprints in on the street.
Remember, excuses are poison.
In fact, thousands of people who are Living Lean are immune to poison.
So I want you to start being immune today by making the decision right now to be awesome.
Once you’ve completed your sprint workout, go home and fuel back up with some healthy post workout food.
But this doesn’t mean a Dairy Queen Blizzard, pizza, and grey goose vodka.
Well, coming from the guy who is known for eating pizza, maybe a few slices is fine 😉.

I really have not started but I will TODAY, I move a lot and take advantage of running up stairs at work which helps a lot, but yes I will start sprinting, I do understand the benefits
I love Jess’s shirt!
Nice
Cool. Where was this workout (city)?
Always funny how people look at me like an alien when I sprint.
I like doing my sprints during my at least one mile a day holiday running streak. Is it ok to do sprints every day?
I just started last week thanks to you. M W F S with rest on Sunday.
I prefer outdoors. I’m in sunny San Diego! No brained there. 🙂
Hey brad, do you think if i lift weights 5 times a week and do
sprints/hiit sessions i can get results such as yours? I also am a fellow
paleo eater…thanks!
Enjoyed the new vid, where did your lady get her shorts? I really liked her
outfit!!!
how do you implement these type of cardio workouts in your split?
her ass is so nice
Do you ever work the streets?
